Re: why does mod_jk still try to send the request to a shutdown machine?
David Rees schrieb: So in case the remote host is dead (i.e. it's not only Tomcat not answering or no Tomcat there), we have the problem, that TCP as a reliable problem tries hard to establish a connection with several resends of SYNs in increasing intervals, leading to long waiting times. So with connect_timeout set to 500, mod_jk won't give up on the connection attempt after 500 ms have elapsed? Not in general. It depends on which part of the connect needs long. For the TCP connect it will use the socket_timeout configured. For the following Cping/Cpong the connect_timeout. Mostly I agree, but I would set a timeout for athe connection pool. Perhaps the default configuration and docs could be updated to reflect that instead of setting to zero? I normally use these settings on my servers: socket_keepalive=1 socket_timeout=300 connection_pool_timeout=300 connect_timeout=500 prepost_timeout=500 We never changed the defaults out of compatibility considerations. Most of the timeouts didn't exist from the beginning and that's why they are unfortunately disabled by default. I also normally set the worker maintain and lb worker recover_time to something lower than the default as well so that mod_jk picks up recovering workers more quickly. It would be nice if worker maintenance could be done by a process other than the processes/threads which also process requests! -Dave That on the TODO for the next major release, provisionary named JK3. We will use the APR libs as an infrastructure, so that we can easily use threads. One use case will be a management thread, that does the maintenance and concurrently monitors the backend status.

RE: why does mod_jk still try to send the request to a shutdown machine?
Thanks for all the replies about this question. But I still can not know if it could be solved by tuning the attributes in worker.properties.

Have a look at http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/generic_howto/timeouts.html You could lower you prepost_timeout. The Timeouts will help for unplanned downtimes. For planned downtimes you should administratively change the activation attribute of the load balancer members.

It seems that mod_jk try to establish a TCP connection to the master and failed by timeout (about one minute). Then it forwards the request to the salve/backup machine. That is correct. The reason for such behavior is because one cannot know if the failed backend is permanently, temporarily disabled or just busy. So it needs to figure out that by sending a request that can take up to 1 second if the node is dead. Later you can setup recover_time for the worker (defaults to 60 seconds) if you need lower recovery frequency. For example worker.xxx.recover_time=600 will try to reconnect to failed worker each 10 minutes. If you know that your backend will be down for designed amout of time, use the status manager page for mod_jk and completely disable desired worker. When it comes online back, re-enable it again manually. In that case there will neither initial nor scheduled retries.

Then I don't think you can avoid a restart of tomcat. The only other method of defining a jdbc pool shared across webapps involves defining it in the GlobalNamingResources.../GlobalNamingResources of conf/server.xml and that also requires a restart. Pick your poison -- one db pool per webapp restarting each webapp or one db pool across all webapps restarting tomcat on change. --David shunhecun wrote: Because I have several applications which share the same dataource.

recovery_options bitmask values for mod_jk
Hi Hopefully a simple answer, the documentation says recovery_options is a bitmask but what I am unsure of is do I set the value in binary or do I use integer values? 1: don't recover if Tomcat failed after getting the request 2: don't recover if Tomcat failed after sending the headers to client 4: close the connection to Tomcat, if we detect an error when writing back the answer to the client (browser) 8: always recover requests for HTTP method HEAD (even if Bits 1 or 2 are set) 16: always recover requests for HTTP method GET (even if Bits 1 or 2 are set) I understand bit mask as: 1 0001 168421 Thus the value I want to set teh recovery_options to is: 11000.

Re: Mapped File Access Problems in Servlets

workers.properties confusion
Hi Another easy question to answer, hopefully... I just spend a lot of time going through this page: http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/workers.html to decide which parameters we need/want to implement. However I am a bit confused between the /etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties for apache and /usr/share/tomcat/conf/workers.properties Is the documentation only for the tomcat file or is it for both files? I understand apache:/workers.properties to be the place were I setup how and to how many tomcats I will be connecting from apache and tomcat:/workers.properties to be where I specify how many tomcat instances/workers I have. We are expiercing regular as clock work problems with apache getting in a W Sending Reply state for all of the child processes and the not clearing. Currently we are using default setting for mod_jk which needs some serious tuning to at least make sure that that part of the infrastructure is working properly. Another potential issue is that we are using apache prefork. From what I have googled so far it looks like apache mpm would be better for us. We typically have one apache box sitting in front of 12 tomcats. Regards __ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Tomcat response time extremely high (minutes)
Hello, my Tomcat 6.0.13/14 server is responding in a very long time. It does not matter if I try to start the main page of the server or one of my webapps. About 2 minutes for each website. This is not the case, if I test on my local machine with http://localhost:8080/myapp; (IE or Firefox on a Windows XP machine). First I supposed it was something wrong with the installation of Tomcat 6.0.13 so I downloaded the new 14er version. Suddenly everything was responding like a charm. Even working on a machine in the network was OK now. But after 1 day the same issue reappeared (response times of about 2 minutes). I did not change anything in the Tomcat configuration except for server.xml which is edited by ECLIPSE I suppose: Host appBase=webapps autoDeploy=true name=localhost unpackWARs=true xmlNamespaceAware=false xmlValidation=false Context docBase=C:\Programme\tomcat\eclipsewebapps\Asset Register path=/ar reloadable=true source=org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:Asset Register//Host What is wrong? What could be wrong? The machines in the network are in another subnetwork. My machine is for example IP 10.45.2.35 and the network machine is on IP 10.45.14.26. Subnet mask 255.255.224.0.

Re: Mapped File Access Problems in Servlets
Thanks for all your help, I found out the problem. It was the service privilege running under the local machine. The default tomcat icon at the bottom of the screen that allows you to configure and start/stop tomcat would not let me change the user it ran under. However, I was able to change the user to Administrator under the windows services window and I can start and stop tomcat there as well. Again, thanks for your quick responses, got me out of a tight Jam. Dan Gross, ATLC Mark Thomas wrote: Daniel L. Gross wrote: I have a servlet that does a direct read from a mapped drive in Windows. It works fine in tomcat as long as I use a drive on the local machine. However, I need to access a mapped drive on a different machine. When I run the program, I get a FileNotFound error in JAVA and (access denied) next to it. Is there some permissions that need to be set so my servlet can access a file on another machine. And how do I set this in Tomcat/JAVA. Thanks, Dan Gross ATLC This comes down to the Windows user Tomcat is running as. You need to make sure that that user has the necessary access to the network drives. If you are running as a service, the default user for services has zero privs on other machines. Usually what is required is to configure the service to log on as a domain user that has the necessary access.

filter IP for a webapps through mod_jk
Hi, after some days of tries and research I was able to run properly tomcat (5.5.23), apache 2 and mod_jk for the same machine. So now, my webapps are reachable with both URLs: http://www.fake.com/webapps or http://www.fake.com:8080/webapps As I understood mod_jk, apache/mod_jk looks in localhost (tomcat and apache are on the same machine for me) to reach tomcat.

Tomcat looses POST parameters
Hi, We're hosting a fairly high traffic web application based on Tomcat. It's running on Debian-Etch, JDK 5.0U10 and Tomcat 5.5.20. We're using Apache as a front-end with the AJP connector. The problem I'm encountering is that for a percentage of the POST requests, Tomcat seems to loose all parameters. Our application uses a filter that logs the (first few characters of) post parameters. This filter is installed as the first one in the filter chain, so nothing else can interfere with it. For requests originating from pages which logically can not produce such an empty post request, the log clearly shows there are no parameters. The problem is often fairly random, although I have been able to consistently reproduce it on one occasion. Using a proxy server to monitor what my browser was sending, I clearly saw in the raw HTTP headers that parameters where being send, yet they weren't received in Tomcat. I also enabled TCP/IP packet logging at the server for a while. For requests that appeared with empty parameters in Tomcat, the tcp/ip log showed the parameters did arrive at the server. Next to that I enabled debug logging in the AJP connector, and again the POST parameters were in the HTTP request but not present when the mentioned filter logged the request in Tomcat. I did notice though that the overwhelming majority of the empty post requests concerned Faces requests (we're using MyFaces 1.1.4). We store state on client, so typical Faces HTTP post requests are at least 22KB in size. Nevertheless, thousands of requests from the same pages from all kinds of different browsers arrive with the post parameters intact. I'm at a loss here how to proceed. Naturally I could change JSF to keep state on server, but because of the way some custom components work that's currently not an option. It would also not really solve the underlying problem of course. Any help would be greatly appreciated Kind regards, Arjan Tijms -- It's a cult.

Need a way to identify tomcat instances at run-time
I have a struts-based application running on multiple tomcat instances, load balanced by a hardware load balancer, i.e., no Apache Web Server. I need a way at run-time to know which tomcat instance it is. Is there a way to access info in the server.xml or context.xml file at run-time? Can I specify some arbitrary value in either of those xml files that would be available at run-time? Is there some other way to identify the tomcat instance at run-time? Is there a way to access CATALINA_HOME or CATALINA_BASE at run-time? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Re: Need a way to identify tomcat instances at run-time
There may be better ways, but one approach which occurs to me is to set unique jvmRoute values on the engines in the server.xml. Even though you aren't using mod_jk, this will result in the provided values being appended to the sessionid. Assuming that you are establishing sessions, and that your hardware balancer has sticky session logic, so once a session is established, the user's subsequent requests get sent to the same backend, this would allow you to distinguish which tomcat instance is being used when processing a request for a user. This would be apparent within your webapp by examining the sessionid, but also from the client side, by examining the jsessionid cookie value.

applet-servlet communication, object serialization (tomcat 5.5)
hi, I encountered a problem with tomcat 5.5. Grazing the whole web i didn't find any solution (some guys are having the same problem but they also got no useful hint up to now). The problem is as follows: I try to build an applet-servlet communication using serialized objects. In my test scenario i write a serialized standard java object (e.g. a String object) onto the ObjectOutputStream of the applet/test-application (it doesn't matters wheter to use the first or the latter one for test cases) and the doPost method of the servlet reads the object from the ObjectInputStream. That works fine. But if i use customized objects (which should also work fine) the same code produces an classnotfound exception (when i try to read and cast the object: TestMessage e = (TestMessage)objin.readObject();): java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: TestMessage at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1359) at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1205) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319) ... That seems strange to me, because if i instantiate an object of the same customized class (TestMessage) in the servlet code, the webappclassloader doesn't have any problems loading and handling the class and the code works fine! The class is located in the web-inf/classes directory of the application. I've already tried to put the class (with and without the package structure) into the common/classes and server/classes directory, but the exception stays the same (I've also tried to build a jar and put it in the appropriate lib directories). I've also tried to catch a Throwable object in order to get information on the cause. But i get a null value (the docu says, that this will may be caused by an unknown error). I've also inspected the log files intensively. But they gave me no hint. Until now I've spend a lot of time on searching and messing around but i always get this classnotfound exception. I hope this is the right place to post this problem and i hope that there is anyone out there who can give me some hint on solving this problem.

RE: Tomcat6, apache2, mod_jk, non-APR, windows 2000, slow server startup with unpacked WAR
I'm not even concerned with the webapp being automatically reloadable. I can reload from the manager or just bounce tomcat. Mentioning WatchedResource is a red herring. If I war a webapp with many class files in various packages in WEB-INF/classes with reloadable=false and unpackwars=false it will take over a minute to start the server. If I war a webapp with only my servlet class in WEB-INF/classes and place the dependent class files in a jar and put that jar in WEB-INF/lib with reloadable=false and unpackwars=false then it only takes a few seconds for the server to start.

RE: Apache authentication information (remoteuser) not visible in Tomcat
Omar I actually had this exact same problem early today although I'm
sure my environment is slightly different from your perhaps I can offer
some help.
In my case I have LDAP authentication configured for my servlet. I
believe this step should be the same regardless of the authentication
scheme you are using
First I edit CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myServelet/WEB-INF/web.xml to define
roles and constraints for what pages can be accessed...
login-config
auth-methodBASIC/auth-method
/login-config
security-role
role-nameGRP-myGroup /role-name
/security-role
security-constraint
web-resource-collection
web-resource-namemy Authentication/web-resource-name
url-pattern/*/url-pattern
/web-resource-collection
auth-constraint
role-nameGRP-myGroup/role-name
/auth-constraint
/security-constraint
The other file I change sets up all the LDAP machine details. I've
placed it in Context.xml because there are several servlets that make
use of this authentication...
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Context.xml
Context
Realm className =org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm
debug =99
connectionURL =ldap://ldapMachine:3268;
connectionName=CRYPTOLOGIC\myUser
connectionPassword=myPassword
userBase =dc=myDomain,dc=com
userSearch=(sAMAccountName={0})
userSubtree =true
userRoleName =memberOf
roleBase =OU=Groups,DC=myDomain,DC=com
roleSubtree=false
roleName =cn
roleSearch =(member={0})/
/Context
This has worked for me. Hope it is of some use to you. We also have
Apache over top of Tomcat in our environment and found it necessary to
configure authentication both in Apache and in Tomcat to get things to
work properly.

Have you considered distributed caching for session replication? I avoid stateless like the plague. There are several tools out there for this, but my favorite (because they are open source) is Terracotta. It clusters the JVMs. Native clustering in Tomcat putters out, in my experience, after 3 nodes. With Terracotta, I dropped in the code and now am clustering 5 nodes and getting a lot higher TPS. I think it is worth the hour it took me to implement it and I didn't have to change my code at all, just write a short XML and drop some tags around what I wanted to distribute.

Tomcat 6 and log4j for a web application
Hi,
still reading :-) http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html
I have setup log4j as above, but with a little twist.
If you permission $CATALINA_HOME as read only and you want to customize the
log4j.properties then you need to install the log4j1.2.14.jar and
log4j.properties in $CATALINA_BASE/lib.
You also need to adjust the catalina.properties common.loader
common.loader=${catalina.base}/lib,${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar
The tomcat logging works well. However, I have 2 questions related to
installing log4j for a web application:
1. why does the documentation say to add log4j1.2.x.jar to the WEB-INF/lib,
isn't it already loaded by the common.loader at this point?
2. is there a way to add a WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties to log to
myapp1.log and capture all the logs related to the web application ? Why
would'nt the following create a myapp1.log?
myapp1/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties -
log4j.debug=TRUE
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG,myapp1
# test logger
log4j.logger.org.apache=DEBUG,myapp1
# Log rotation
log4j.appender.myapp1=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.myapp1.File=${catalina.base}/logs/myapp1.log
log4j.appender.myapp1.DatePattern='.'-MM-dd
# Print the date in ISO 8601 format
log4j.appender.myapp1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.myapp1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n
Any hints - suggestions are appreciated,
Many Thanks - Fred

Re: [OT] Session replication vs stateless
I'd go the opposite direction, I will do stateless before attempting any kind of replication or distributed cache.

Re: Tomcat 6 and log4j for a web application
if you want to use log4j in your application only,
then forget everything you read on logging.html
all you need to do is log4j.jar in WEB-INF/lib
log4j.properties in WEB-INF/classes
the steps you are outlining, are converting tomcat from using
java.util.logging to log4j for the container. and you don't need those
steps if all you want is log4j for a webapp

(For the record, I am not using session replication.) It all comes down to what is most important for your application. If it is unacceptable to have users re-login if the server to which their session is tied (session affinity: no replication), then session replication is one of your only options. If it's okay to have users re-login when they switch servers due to failover, I'd highly recommend it since session replication is pretty heavy in terms of network use. Why waste all that time passing session information around? I ask because I'm still unsure about whether to decrease memory usage by increasing database usage (or bandwidth usage if sending state back to the client) by going stateless at the application tier. You don't necessarily have to go stateless. Using a session is fins as long as it's okay for users to re-login when they switch servers. Stateless Are there any people using stateless application tiers with transactions that are inherently stateful, such as wizard-type screens or other business processes or workflows? How'd that turn out? I have some flows that are sort-of stateless (that is, I have lots of hidden input elements on those pages). I use those for when I want the wizard to be able to continue in the middle if the session times out when a user is halfway through the flow. Yes, the user has to login again, but they pick-up the flow where they left off. Did you choose to move this state to the client (through cookies) or to the database? I don't like using the database for scratch work. First of all, it ties up valuable database resources. Second, it pollutes your schema with what amounts to temporary data. Lastly, you have to clean up after that scratch data at some point so you don't fill up your database with useless junk. I think it's easier to simply allow aborted transactions (meaning multi-page flows) to die along with the session under which they were running. With session replication between 2 machines, are you effectively reducing the capacity of each server, at least in terms of memory, by 50%? No. You're only reducing the amount of memory available for sessions by half. You can help yourself out a lot by using objects with transient fields so you don't transmit huge objects across the network and waste memory on a server that might not get used. Instead, use lazy instantiation to reconstitute those objects from the database (or wherever) when they are needed. Only replicate what is absolutely necessary to recover your state. (This only works well when you are also using session affinity). Hopefully I'm looking at it the wrong way, because it not, I'm not really liking the session replication idea if I'm decreasing hardware usage by half. I'd have to say that I would rarely recommend session replication just because the memory, CPU, and network overhead doesn't outweigh the minor (and hopefully rare) inconvenience of having to re-login when you switch servers. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGz0z39CaO5/Lv0PARAr9OAKCiB/sk56z7e4kBkPoqHL7QI8wv+ACeO9AA rsWsRUE4t5JhIbB+dSyS9kg= =Wypn -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Tomcat 6 and log4j for a web application
I would like both one common/lib/log4j.properties for the main Tomcat
container logging and another log4j for each web apps - where you set its
log filename and rotation etc...
The tomcat logging would be of interest to an admin and the web app logs to
the developer.
Do I make sense?

I have setup log4j as above, but with a little twist.
If you permission $CATALINA_HOME as read only and you want to customize
the
log4j.properties then you need to install the log4j1.2.14.jar and
log4j.properties in $CATALINA_BASE/lib.
You also need to adjust the catalina.properties common.loader
common.loader=${catalina.base}/lib,${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar
The tomcat logging works well. However, I have 2 questions related to
installing log4j for a web application:
1. why does the documentation say to add log4j1.2.x.jar to the
WEB-INF/lib,
isn't it already loaded by the common.loader at this point?
2. is there a way to add a WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties to log to
myapp1.log and capture all the logs related to the web application ? Why
would'nt the following create a myapp1.log?
myapp1/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties -
log4j.debug=TRUE
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG,myapp1
# test logger
log4j.logger.org.apache=DEBUG,myapp1
# Log rotation
log4j.appender.myapp1=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.myapp1.File=${catalina.base}/logs/myapp1.log

Re: Tomcat 6 and log4j for a web application
for tomcat container logging, its easy
1. put log4j.jar in TC_HOME/lib
2. put log4j.properties in TC_HOME/lib
3. compile the extras
ant -f extras.xml
4. replace TC_HOME/bin/tomcat-juli.jar with the one compiled from step 3
5. put extras//tomcat-juli-adapters.jar in TC_HOME/lib
and that's it, no need to mess with anything else
and for webapp logging, that was described earlier

Re: Apache authentication information (remoteuser) not visible in Tomcat
Hi Robert,
Thanks for the response.
So I've come to believe that its possible to avoid using Tomcat
authentication altogether, i.e., without specifying realms and using
tomcat user/roles in an application's web.xml. Given my context (a
University environment with over several hundreds of students hitting an
apache web server and a small subset needing tomcat), I need to
completely separate authentication from the Tomcat server. I guess this
approach of using JNDI or even JAAS is a last resort... but I would
really like to see what everyone else seems to have already accomplished
- the REMOTE_USER variable being read from the first AJP header that is
sent to tomcat.
Thanks,
Omar

In my case I have LDAP authentication configured for my servlet. I
believe this step should be the same regardless of the authentication
scheme you are using
First I edit CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myServelet/WEB-INF/web.xml to define
roles and constraints for what pages can be accessed...
login-config

/login-config

The other file I change sets up all the LDAP machine details. I've
placed it in Context.xml because there are several servlets that make
use of this authentication...
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Context.xml
Context
Realm className =org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm
debug =99
connectionURL =ldap://ldapMachine:3268;
connectionName=CRYPTOLOGIC\myUser
connectionPassword=myPassword

userSubtree =true
userRoleName =memberOf
roleBase =OU=Groups,DC=myDomain,DC=com
roleSubtree=false
roleName =cn
roleSearch =(member={0})/
/Context
This has worked for me. Hope it is of some use to you. We also have
Apache over top of Tomcat in our environment and found it necessary to
configure authentication both in Apache and in Tomcat to get things to
work properly.

Thanks for the response Christopher... although I had very early on,

setting tomcatAuthentication=false in the appropriate server.xml line
(see the config listing I produced earlier in the thread).
Oh I hope its not some obscure bug in mod_jk!! :)
